Description:
Amel ends his short career as a courtier when he steals his baby half-brother, Erien, from their sadistic mother, Ev'rel. Once he has left the baby in safe hands, he faces the problem of how to hide from Ev'rel. He dares not rely on friends because Ev'rel is the second most powerful Sevolite in the empire and she knows who his friends are. He must stay away, to protect them. So he takes flight. The empire is vast. There ought to be a way to hide in it. But Amel is not just anyone. Born to rule the empire, lost in infancy, raised as a commoner and rediscovered at the age of sixteen working as a courtesan, his story has made him famous. Worst of all, for a fugitive, is Amel's other-worldly beauty that gets him noticed even by people who have never seen his pictures —and his warm heart that cannot help but notice others. (Set in the Envoy Period, between Part 3: Pretenders and Part 4: Throne Price of the Okal Rel Saga published by Edge Science Fiction and Fantasy.

A worthy work of scholarship. Found I bogged down in the recurring cycles of warfare, crazy-cruel leaders and rival families slaughtering people. Plenty of jewel sharp details painful to swallow. And a sense of hard-beaten stones raised up, thrown do ...more | |
